Important Updates to Infor CloudSuite Industrial (April 2026)

Explore the latest Infor CloudSuite Industrial (CSI) updates, including UX improvements, role-based design, and new personalized intelligence in the April 2026 release below.

ERP for How You Work

Infor CloudSuite Industrial is not a one-size-fits-all ERP. Built with deep manufacturing expertise, it delivers purpose-built functionality across sub-industries. The April update expands on this foundation with a more tailored experience based on both industry and role.

2026.04 Infor CloudSuite Industrial Updates

Feature Benefit
User Experience & Interface Modernization Modernized IDS forms and Hub layouts improve readability and navigation while reducing clicks and tab switching.

#1. User Experience & Interface Modernization

April’s release introduces new improvements to the user interface and experience in Infor CloudSuite Industrial. Enhanced Infor Design System (IDS) experiences and Hub views preserve key functionality while reducing friction in navigation and search.

New CloudSuite Industrial forms help users:

Locate key information with a clearer hierarchy for fields, statuses, and actions.

Find records faster with enhanced filtering, search, and query capabilities.

Reduce tab switching and time spent navigating with actions closer to the related information.

Similarly, improved Hub Views simplify navigation by consolidating process-specific metrics, exceptions, and next actions into a single layout.

This enables team members to more effectively manage key processes across areas like engineering, production, and quality with real-time visibility and in-context actions.

#2. Improved Role-Based Workspaces

Infor also improved the user interface for Workspaces. Workspaces are preconfigured, role-based views that surface key KPIs such as work in progress (WIP), on-time delivery, open purchase orders (POs), quality holds, and margin. Here, users can manage exceptions and alerts for late orders, shortages, capacity constraints, and supplier delays.

While Hub views are organized around specific processes, Workspaces are organized around manufacturing user roles.

Out-of-the-box, companies can enable Workspaces for engineering managers, production managers, quality managers, buyers, and executives.

#3. Embedded AI Innovation

Commenting on the new release, Infor shares “The most meaningful difference between AI that helps and AI that adds noise is context.” In this spirit, Infor developed native GenAI and AI agents to enhance the workday with insights grounded in your live system data. Users can summarize work orders and analyze exceptions without leaving their current task.

With Infor GenAI, employees can ask plain-language questions regarding their real-time ERP data.

AI agents compliment this feature. Agents are trained in functional areas such as operations, supply chain, and customer service and to perform tasks autonomously.

Key updates in this release (see Infor’s press release for more detail):

  • Velocity Suite now includes Infor Industry AI Agents, Agent Orchestration, and Agent Factory.
  • Infor Value+ solutions are now discoverable directly within Infor CloudSuite Industrial (CSI).
  • Infor shares that every implemented Infor Velocity Suite solution now includes a year of complimentary CareFor Managed Services post go-live.

Turn AI into Business Value with Velocity Suite

As the AI market becomes increasingly saturated, organizations face three key barriers to transformation: skepticism about outcomes, market noise, and a lack of specialized resources. Many AI solutions promise measurable benefits but fail to make a tangible impact, eroding confidence across the company. Crowded markets create information overload, making it difficult to separate fact from hype. Finally, many SMBs often lack the internal resources to sustain AI projects.

Infor built Velocity Suite specifically with these challenges in mind.

Infor Velocity Suite is a comprehensive set of solutions designed to accelerate AI adoption and drive results within your CloudSuite Industrial ERP. Together, these tools help teams achieve real business value and scale AI across the organization.
